While the information in this book is interesting, complete, and useful, the frequent typos are very distracting.

For example, from the forward: "In 1970 there were only two journals that could be identified as neuropsychological in nature. By 1960, there were more than a dozen..."

Also, the editors should be advised that the singular of scotomata is scotoma, not scotomat as printed on page 14.

On page 15, the function of cranial nerve V is covered under a section titled "Cranial Nerve VI" and vice versa.

I could go on.

If the publisher is looking for proofreaders, I am available.

As a practicing neuropsychologist, I purchased this text with a view to having a small, portable reference book to take with me when assessing clients in locations away from my desk. For this purpose it has been excellent - while brief, it is an excellent reference text. In particular, I have found the stroke sections and frontal lobe pathology areas useful. Highly recommended.
